Bethesda Softworks - Dev Profile

A profile interview with former modder - now programmer - Brian Robb can be found at the Bethsoft blog:

1. What’s your job at Bethesda?

I’m a programmer. I’m responsible for a number of different systems in the game, but for Fallout 3 my biggest task is the Combat AI. I spend a lot of time running the game in slow motion from a floating camera, watching what the NPCs are doing and trying to make them intelligent and more natural.

2. What prior projects have you worked on?

I got my start right here, working on Oblivion. The majority of my time was spent writing the Save/Load system, but I worked on a number of other elements of the game as well. Prior to Oblivion, I was a member of the Morrowind mod community and created the Morrowind Enhanced series of mods.
